Newcastle Race 8 - The Tab App Pace
SLICK AND SUAVE (10) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten a nose, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of another bold performance. HOGES MEMORIES (3) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 40 metres into seventh at this track over 1609m. Has the benefit of a far better draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. ELITE GEORGE (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SPOOKY ART (9) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at Tamworth. Include in combinations.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early pace at Penrith, at the bell was 7th-22.68 beaten 12 m by Jay Bee Lou (2:07.40) on July 30 at $17. At the run before 9th (Fr5) over 1780m after racing wide at Redcliffe well beaten by Ebony Belle (2:14.50) in 3yo+ on May 31 at $101. One to consider as his best is good enough.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 55 m by Ellezie (1:56.90) on August 7 at $151. Before that 10th (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track was 5th-8.75 at the bell, beaten 18 m by A Little Dilemma (1:57.70) on July 10 at $151. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr7) over 1609m after being wide early at this track, beaten 40 m by Ellezie (1:56.90) on August 7 at $5.50. At the previous start 6th (Fr2) over 2030m at this track was 4th-6.86 at the bell, beaten 8 m by My Kgari (2:30.90) on July 13 at $5. Better than last start and can improve sharply.
